A classic for a reason. The story is well known due to so many adaptations, but the text still holds its own. I loved this quick little novella and it is certain to be one that I revisit during occasional holiday seasons. The writing is so good and easy to read through with vibrant characters and such a great message. Some classics are boring and stuffy and hard to get through. That is not the case with A Christmas Carol. I'm only sorry it took me this long to finally pick it up. Wonderful.
